I was the first American presidential candidate to raise the issue of Palestinian human rights. I said it then and I say it now. Our histories from South Africa to Palestine, to right here in the United States of America, are inextricably combined. Commemorating Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King on his work and legacy to support peace and justice for all, I think about Palestine and the rights of Palestinian people. With Dr.
James Zogby, a dear friend of mine and director of the Arab American Institute, stood in 1988, 40 years ago advocating for peace and justice. As I said in Lebanon in 1979, we do not seek to exchange sufferers, rather to stop suffering. This is what I am still fighting for in 2024, with a rainbow coalition of Palestinian, Jewish, Arab, Muslim and Black conveners at our emergency [text is cut off from here]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y4bbj2ob5ayyt5nqkho7vuw6/bafkreia2wtlvhumoih4bcqwffb2u3rjnlhrri4qde5bjwqqptejo7t4wrq@jpeg)

Sightings in NE, Columbia Heights and New Brighton this afternoon. They’re still at hotels, they’re still here!
No verified ICE sightings in Whittier/Uptown today, which caps a weekend of few to no sightings here either. Commuting and guard duty is still absolutely necessary; the low-intensity days are simply a welcome change.
A few ways we will know ICE is actually gone:
• Commuters no longer report regular verified ICE sightings
• Abduction reports dry up
• Hotel and car rentals end
• Non-ICE federal employees are brought back to the Whipple

“U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank ordered the release of Herrera Berrios because the federal government provided no evidence it had a warrant to arrest him.” Yet these violent agents got a Sheriff’s escort to abduct him and violate his due process. Truly shameful stuff under Witt’s watch.
A judge has ordered the release of an 18-year-old who was detained by federal agents in a chaotic scene inside the Hennepin County Government Center last week.

It’s day 76 of the ICE occupation of

ICE is still here - we still have vastly more agents on the ground than we did in late November.
And those agents are still kidnapping our neighbors and terrorizing neighborhoods.
Stay vigilant, and let’s pay rent for March 1 for everyone who needs it.
